A tiny note that appeared at the bottom of the December 30 panel of
"Beakman & Jax," a Sunday comics feature that introduces children to scientific
concepts, in this case the reason why the World Trade Center
towers collapsed the way they did:

P.S. from Jax: A lot of people say this fight is about good against
evil. But both sides say that, so that can't be it. It's really
about hate, and hatred is a powerful force that we have to be
careful not to be a part of.

[Ed.: That first observation should be especially useful to
children developing the ability to evaluate seemingly contradictory data.]
